Yes, true. However, sometimes you might want to begin a sentence on a new line without creating a new paragraph. This is OK too. :-) In Word 08 you can do this by holding the shift key when pressing enter.
This way the text is part of the same paragraph on a new line.

In HTML this would be like using

<p>Paragraph text</p>

and

<br /> or <br>

for new lines
